2. As stated in the RLP Section 1.02, the Government is seeking existing offered space not to exceed 15,719 ABOA sf.; a revised EXHIBIT R - PFD has been uploaded for review and use. 3. Would the Department of Veterans Affairs consider a sublease; or does the lease need to be on a direct basis with the property owner?
The VA would like to clarify this question, please refer to Section 3.01 of the RLP, which states the following:
F. Ownership Evidence. Evidence of ownership or control of Building or site. If the Offeror owns the Property being offered or has a long-term leasehold interest, the deed or lease must be submitted to the LCO evidencing the Offeror's stated interest in the Property and any encumbrances on the Property.
